[TR] Catastrophic oil line failure for oil pressure gauge

[thenicholls at verizon.net]

Randall and the list,

Always enjoy reading your responses, and I have learned a lot.  Does
anyone know who or who could produce a steel line replacement for this
hose?  I would be buying that in a second.  Nothing in my garage to
craft that item.

By the way, stereo in the garbage.  10 rolls of paper towels wicking up
the oil, no real damage to the carpet.  I was advised by TRF and Mount
Joy's to not under any circumstances use water on wool carpet.  Some
folks recomended a dry cleaner, but as most people say, they still use
water in the process.

Heading to the Hunt Country Classis here in Middleburg, VA tomorrow.
Ordered a new stereo on Ebay to replace the one tha had 1/2 quart of oil
in it, but I feel lucky.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post, much appreciated.

Which would seem to me an excellent reason to either convert to a steel
line
(as the TR2-3 used) or to an electric oil pressure gauge.

Sorry to hear about your accident, Craig.
